bilstein shocks
so im working my way through this car (E92) and noticed that it was squirrely over rougher roads, so i got a 4 wheel wheel alignment, and to some degree its better, anyway cutting to the chase the rear RHS shock is worn out.
ive ordered two Bilstein rear shocks, but noted that the site said sedans and wagons only, i checked the Bilstein web site and they don't differentiate. soooo, hope ive done the right thing, i mean a E92 is only an E90 with 2 doors missing right!! |

The shocks for the rear are different for coupe versus sedan. Call FCP for help.

yep got it sorted, got on to the vendor and he has got the correct shocks. yep i think i already acknowledged "Whats the difference " hahah
as for bushes yep all over it, but rather than just chuck parts at it im taking one diagnosed problem at a time, this is not a daily driver (at this time) so i have heaps of time to get it sorted, at 17 years old and no service history its something of a luck dip, according to the few receipts i do have its only done 20,000km (12,000 miles) in the last 7 years, so who knows as i said one step at a time, i do appreciate all your input as my questions arise thanks |

as requested here is the part number for the Bilstein shocks i bought
19-136592 i think they are B4 black body, i didn't want high performance i wanted OEM style ride quality, i live in a regional area and the roads are quite poor so no rock hard suspension for me hope someone gets some value out of this. |
